    Those Mini-cons all look great. And that Ransack GT surprised me with a really cool deco. Awesomeness.

    I hate to burst people's bubbles, but look at the comic again. "Splinter" was white where RGT is black/yellow, light green where RGT is white, and orange where RGT is green.

    Oh, and for the people worrying about the lack of the BW10 leaders' accessories -- do you also think we're no longer getting the mini-ships since they're not pictured, either? Besides, the bot-mode pictures are the exact same as the ones from the last TFCC newsletter. (ZOMG BBTS IS STEALING FORM TEH KLUB!)

    Oh, and BTW, these new toys all ROCK!

    Those new mini-cons are great! Definetely on my "to buy" list!

    I'll make up my mind on the repainted mini-cons when and if I see them personally.

    Ransack GT.... I'm not so sure about. I can't say I hate it, but I don't like it .... yet. I'm pretty sure I'll end up digging the new deco, though I prefer Takara's police version.

    BWX Megs and Primal are looking good as always.

    I like Perceptor, it's a cool little combiner. It looks more like a real robots than the space team like a gun. The new team looks awesome and Ransack GT is SO much more superior to the regular and white versions...

    Original Ransack sucks with all that red. The green and yellow scheme works much better than the red/red.

    That Ransack repaint looks like the Joker's motorcycle. I like that new mini-con three pack, though.

    A few people will probably pay it allright....

    Joel says he has to charge extra for new figures in order to justify keeping stock of older figures in an assorment, that otherwise he'd just be selling by the case.. but this is absurd,

    Unless it's a typo.

    Talk about retro . That new plane minicon is definately a Martin Seamaster

    I'm getting a RID Sideways vibe out of the RGT. Yes new Mini-cons. Always a welcome addition to my collection. Glad to see the sub, now i'm hoping for the signal light and payphone. :D

    Ransack GT looks...ok. I looked at him again and it appears they fixed his factory wheel error thingy. :)  That's a plus. The new mold minicons look awesome, though! A battleship Minicon is what I always wanted! :D  Skywarp looks a little better in those pics, so I'm still getting him (since I've become a Thundercracker/Skywarp completionist). The wave 4 Minicons...I'll get them, only because of the Evil Kenevil Highwire. :)

    Maybe, maybe not... it wouldn't be the first time the stock photo didn't include all the accessories.

    Either way this is the first Primal Design I've liked: partly because its robot mode is a lot stronger than most of the prior iterations. Megs I'm less sure of but he's good enough that I don't mind picking up both the complete the set.

    I'll be getting Ransack GT because I dig that mold, and the New Mini-Con Team is also going to be mine, but much like wave two of the Vs. sets looks like I'm skipping RB Vs. Perceptor.
